METAMORPHOSIS OF SELF

METAMORPHOSIS OF SELF In a world of darkness and shadows deep, A creature lies within a chrysalis asleep, Silent and still, a soul encased, Awaiting the moment it will be embraced.4 Within the depths, a transformation takes hold, Starting as a whisper, timid and bold, Cell by cell, it begins to reshape, As a striking figure starts to take shape.8 The journey of growth, a wondrous sight, As the chrysalis cracks, opening to the light, Emerging slowly, with uncertain grace. As the figure steps forth, it reveals its form.¹² A newfound strength, like wings unfurled, Carrying the spirit, it begins to soar the world, No longer the caged soul, trapped within, But a vibrant being, ready to begin.¹6 With each step taken & self-realisation, it'll bloom, A sense of purpose, breaking through the gloom, An inner beauty, once hidden away, Now shines brightly, brightening each day.²° The metamorphosis complete, a stunning sight, A symbol of resilience, courage, and might, For within every chrysalis, a transformation lies, And the figure that emerges never truly dies.²4 So, let us embrace our own journey of growth, Embracing the struggles, the changes that betroth, For within us all lies a striking figure unseen, Waiting to emerge and to fulfill a dream.²8 VICK MANUEL POETRY {VMP} FORM: Rhymes Copyright ©?
